Title: Building on pander

I finished rebuilding my screwed up git tree at last after a nice storage breakdown on the hottest day of this century, so here goes my proposed changes to `rapport`˙which in short eliminates the need of `evaluate` and `ascii` for [`pander`](http://daroczig.github.com/pander/).

It has some drawbacks:

* `ascii` supports multiple backends, `pander` does only one: [Pandoc](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/)
* cannot `import` the (pander) package, but really `depends` on

Advantages:

* no strict templates any more, no double-triple runs of `expression`s
* `evals`' internal cache can boost performance
* no ugly hacks to return pretty markdown tables etc. - `pander` deals with that
* real `brew` syntax in templates
* and a few minor issues which I cannot remember after struggling so much with corrupted inodes :)

Alex, please revise and test with an up-to-date `pander` package, and give some feedback if we are ready to merge this to `rapport`.
